Money Network First Data Corporation Gone Phishing Cordova Tennessee

Got a letter from Money Network addressed to my 19-year-old son and tossed in the pile of didn't-ask-for-it credit card offers to shred later.  Several months later, as I am going about the aforementioned shredding, I found out this was something far more egregious than a credit card solicitation.

They are telling my son that they are upgrading his account to a Premier Account (the "account" was some ridiculousness where he got his paycheck on a debit card instead of actual money, I think this was from when he worked at Best Buy).  The letter says they need to verify his identity as required by the USA PATRIOT Act, and to do so, he must send them his passport, driver's license, social security card, voter's registration card and/or school identification card.

But the letter assures that the personal information they collect will be protected in accordance with their privacy policy, which makes me feel SO much better!  (/sarcasm off)

Have you ever seen a more blatant attempt at identity theft?
